Description
The largest wingspan of any creature in our world. This particular specimen is about 200-300 years old, as it takes an incredible length of time for one to grow this big. There are only around 5 that are this size. The largest one ever known was said to destroy cities with a single wing beat.Untitled World Project with

While I LOOOOVE the artwork and design, as always, I have some qualms from a scientific perspective:
Is that bird even bio-aerodynamically possible? Pretty sure there's no way that could even soar in Earth atmospheric density.
According to the Square-Cube law, the body would have to be at least half as big as shown to be lifted by that same wingspan. 
Just asking. The answer, I figure, is probably something akin to "magic!".

I really like that you put in detail about the size and that it isn't the normal size but you gave reason for that. The effort in this is clear, you put a lot of thought into this and i think it turned out amazing and you should be proud of it.

Im fairly sure it was age of mythology. The bird served as a transport for one of the civilisations.

I don't know if you ever heard of Terry Brooks or The Shannara Series but they have very large Eagles in there also called Roc's. Superb series, check it out.

Wow, amazingly done, I also like that you implemented the white, but it's often said that the Roc is completely white

I remember this story, if I'm not mistaken Sinbad and a group of sailors came across a giant dome which turned out to be the egg.
Oh, and awesome job!!

Very nicely done!

Again, love the thoughts behind these. I know I've said this before, but they seem real!

I really enjoy creatures that look semi realistic. I wanted to be a paleontologist before i wanted to be an artist. Though all i really wanted to do was draw dinosaurs XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Cool! Yeah, dinosaurs are really fun to draw. Because we've never encountered one, they require a touch of imagination to create.

WOA! I love the idea of a city being destroyed in one single swoop!!! D:
